Members of the Korean Public Service and Transport Workers' Union (KPTU) shout slogans and carry signs outside of CJ Logistics' headquarters in Jongno District, central Seoul, on Monday.

The KPTU, which is the largest affiliate of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, carried signs protesting CJ Logistics' upcoming seven-day delivery schedule, alleging that it would lead to overwork and reduced pay among employees. Korea's largest logistics firm announced in August that it would begin delivering packages seven days a week, including public holidays, starting in 2025.
